The 350z with the built 3.8L VQ, Cosworth cylinder heads, and GReddy twin turbos fired up on the very first try today. This combination has a super meaty exhaust note that leads me to believe that it will make killer power once we get in on the dyno. Next are going to modify the exhaust system before we do anything else to take full advantage of the quick spooling GReddy kit. Currently the car is only running a custom set of 3″ down pipes and 3″ catalytic converters out of a Dodge Viper. I should have more information on the exhaust sometime tomorrow.
The rest of the car was finished some time ago, so it is really nice for the power-plant portion to come to a close as well. As far as the interior, the car already boasts the latest in audio technology with an awesome double-din head unit form Alpine with a removable hand held GPS unit that is self contained in the head unit when not on foot. This 350Z also boasts a host of Defi gauges to keep tabs on the vital engine stats as well as a Tein EDFC unit to control the shock valving in the Type Flex coil-overs.
I will have more pictures and some dyno info in the next few days. I will also have my first drive in the car with the new twin setup in the next day or two so I will report back with my impressions then. Good talk.
